Patriots radio call of James White’s Super Bowl winning TD
The New England Patriots radio crew exploded as James White got the ball over the goal line to defeat the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl 51.
The New England Patriots pulled off the greatest feat in Super Bowl history. With their backs against the wall and no margin for error, they managed to come back from 25 points and defeat the Atlanta Falcons in overtime of Super Bowl 51. James White had the winning touchdown as he got the ball extended over the goal line.
White also set a Super Bowl record with 14 receptions on the night. As James crossed over the goal line, the Patriots’ radio crew exploded as he scored the winner. Never before had a game gone to overtime, so it was history everyone witnessed on the field.
The crew of Bob Socci and Scott Zolak have seen plenty of impressive things calling Patriots games but never anything like this. To have a Super Bowl go to overtime is a remarkable feat, let alone having a team come back from 25 points.
Tom Brady cemented his legacy as the greatest quarterback of all time with the comeback and became the first quarterback ever with five Super Bowls. It was an emotional game and the Patriots proved to be mentally tough with their ability to dig in and get the job done.
The radio calls will last forever and will be played in several highlight reels for years to come. White created for himself a legend made the big play to get the job done. It was an epic score with an epic call.
